UPDATED: Teryl Austin - Coordinator Swap, Coming Soon To The Lifetime Channel? Whither Withers?
According to 24-7, he's in negotiations with us as our next DC. Are Texas and Florida swapping coordinator sister-wives like the couples in The Ice Storm? Teryl Austin was Florida's DC last year after seven years in the NFL with the Seahawks and Cardinals, where he coached defensive backs. ...
What our new staff should look like
Judging from the lists of defensive coordinators going traveling the rumour mill you might guess that "African American" is a qualifier for the next defensive coordinator. Somehow much of the African American coaching tree is tied to the Cover-2 defense. Much of that is due to Tony Dungy but...
Grooming Coordinator Succession: A Systemic Program Issue
If Randy Shannon is indeed the hire at defensive coordinator, it won't address a constant problem that we've had at this coordinator position under Mack's reign: turnover. With the constancy of that turnover accelerating since 2003. Reese, Robinson, Akina/MacDuff, Chizik, Muschamp. The last four...
Randy Shannon As DC
I'm being told by some pretty solid sources that Randy Shannon withdrew from an announcement of being hired at Kentucky when the Muschamp news came over the wire. He immediately contacted Texas to express his interest in the job. Mack Brown needs an immediate defensive coordinator hire to...
And we're off...

Is it possible to hate the Miami Hurricanes but like Randy Shannon?

Bruin Bites: UCLA-Colorado Gameday Edition
It's Saturday and UCLA is coming back to the Rose Bowl following an embarrassing beat-down, Neuheislian loss to a sub-par Utah squad last week, this time to take on the even more hapless Colorado Buffaloes, who has become the doormat of the Pac-12 in their inaugural season. In other words, it's a...
Scouting Boston College's Opponents: Week 1
Making the rounds, checking in on how our 2011 opponents fared in week 1. The UCF Knights rolled up 62 points on hapless Charleston Southern, including a program record eight rushing touchdowns. Yet O'Leary expects more! "The Knights' offense, meanwhile, racked up 211 yards and five touchdowns on...
When Nevin Met Orson: A One-Act Play
(Author’s Note: I’m not going to lie to you; jet lag and an atypical midday nap on Monday have conspired to throw off my sleep schedule, as a consequence of which I am out of sorts, and it shows. Fortunately, lots of other folks have more than taken up the slack, for which I am most obliged. Since...
